Chiellini bags Masters Degree in Business Admin

Juve defender, Giorgio Chiellini already appears to be planning well for life after football after picking up a Masters degree in Business Administration from the University of Turin.

Few players choose to study during their playing career, given the demands that both roles require.

However, Chiellini seems to have taken it all in his stride after graduating with top marks from one of the most respected universities in his home country.

The Italy international, who is widely viewed as one of the most accomplished defenders in world football, graduated from the School of Management and Economics on Thursday afternoon.

The 32-year-old presented his dissertation on ‘The Business Model of Juventus Football Club in an International Context’ before accepting his degree from examiner and tutor Professor Pietro Paolo Biancone.

Chiellini posted a picture of himself receiving his award to social media, alongside the caption: ‘Until the end. This motto accompanies me on the pitch and supported me during these years on the books. Glad I graduated!’

‘Everyone associated with the club would like to congratulate Giorgio on his excellent results and achievement,’ read a statement on the club’s website.

Chiellini’s attention will now turn to Saturday’s home game against Chievo.

Massimiliano Allegri’s side are currently six points clear of Roma at the top of Serie A and are on course to claim their sixth consecutive Italian title.
